I don't have a printer , if some experienced users can test this package would be great, so we can recommend the upgrade to our newer users. My apologies for the issues with this, first time dealing with this kind of packages. We will be doing it better from now, working for an even more secure vector

echo 'DocumentRoot /usr/doc/cups' >> /etc/cups/cupsd.confNot a easy way get this working out of the box. Most SW packages won't overwrite a existing .conf or .rc file. The doinst.sh will detect a old one, then append ".new" to the name of the new one, so it isn't used unless specified by the user. I suppose some magic could be added to the doinst.sh to grep DocumentRoot of the cupsd.conf after it has been moved, then add that line if it does not?

I'm not sure why adding a DocumentRoot (location of cups webpages) is even needed. I checked out the SlackBuild used and one of the config options explicitly sets the docdir. I would think it would be compiled in?

cups-1.3.7-i486-2_slack12.0.tlz Is now in the repo ready for download and testing.

rbistolfi has fixed the issue with the web based interface perfectly. I have installed and can confirm this. But.... as luck would have it, my printer is too low on ink and I am unable to get it to respond to test printing. This is not the fault of the package. I can't get it to print with another VL machine that had been properly configured with the original cups package either.

I can't track this down either as it's appearing fine for me. Accessories > Printer Manager: Shows my printer. Even shows my unfinished print job from when I was trying to test when this package was submitted. But... no ink=no printer for me.
